is a large breed of dog from the Canary Islands, related to mastiffs, boxers, pit bull terriers, etc. They are big, dominant, strong-willed, athletic dogs, typically weighing 100+ pounds, and are probably most famous in this country because of several fatal attacks on humans (notably, Diane Whipple's death in California some years ago). Like some of the other Molosser breeds listed above, they've become popular with a certain segment of the population who like having "bully" dogs.

The statistics on which breeds cause the most bites and attacks become distorted when somebody calls dogs like this merely "German shepherd mix" [and yes, national statistics on which dog breeds are most apt to bite are largely compiled from newspaper articles and other press reports like this].

I am sure he would have if they carried. Of course not all civil servants take their cues from the TPD. Some actually show restraint instead of shooting up the neighborhood and asking questions afterwards.

So now let's just call it a 'presa canario' mix and keep the German Shepard out of this!
Since you seem to have some knowledge of this, If two breeds are listed as the 'mix' do they both get a black mark???

@Sayhuh.....I want to see how much 'restraint' you show when a big dog is chewing on your arm or leg....You'll probably cry like a baby and beg someone to shoot the dog!!
